After lots of speculation about the theme for the forthcoming American Horror Story season eight, fans finally know exactly what the latest installment in Ryan Murphy’s anthology will be: the much-anticipated crossover season of fan-favorites Murder House and Coven.

While Ryan had previously said that season eight wouldn’t be the crossover and had some thinking it would be radioactive based on clues and filed trademarks, he made things official on Twitter Thursday afternoon writing, “The Coven/Murder House AHS crossover season won't be happening next year...because it's happening THIS YEAR. AHS #8 WITCHES RULE THIS SEPTEMBER.”

Summon the excitement! According to Ryan, many of your favorite cast members will be back, including Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters, and the new season is “very high concept.” He told Entertainment Weekly, “It’s a season unlike anything we’ve done because there’s a big hook to it. There’s a huge thing that happens in episode five.”

Of course, this news leads to fans wondering exactly how this crossover will work. We know it’s set about a year and a half from the present day, and we also know that all the seasons are connected in some way — which means we could see Evan returning to the role of Kyle, the resurrected frat boy from season three's Coven. We have a feeling he’s not going to be playing Tate Langdon again, considering Ryan at one point said Evan would be playing a "comedic" hairdresser. Will he be working in Marie Laveau’s hair salon?

We also know that Kathy Bates and Billie Lourd are returning, though we haven’t heard if the first several seasons’ icon, Jessica Lange, will be back as Constance Langdon or Fiona Goode. Constance was raising Tate’s devil child at the end of Murder House, and that feels like a story we could return to at some point too. Anything can happen in AHS’s twisted world.

Regardless of what actually happens on season eight, we can’t wait to see all our faves return and to see how on Earth Ryan, his actors, and the rest of the AHS team make this crossover work. Bring on the teasers!
